Answer:

Two similes

Explanation:

According to the excerpt given from Flannery O'Connor's "The Life You Save May Be Your Own.", there is a monologue where the narrator compares the human body to a house because it doesn't go anywhere.

The second simile comes when the narrator compares the spirit to an automobile because it is always on the move.

Therefore, the excerpt contains two similes.

How are "Barrio Boy" and "No Gumption" similar
Zepler [3.9K]
They are both written in first person, they share conflicts. <span>First, in similarity, they lived in close time periods (both lived in 20th century) and were very poor. They went through a lot of struggle but in the end they achieved a lot. They both share similar conflicts. These are both memoir stories written in first person and talk about being young children. 

In difference, No Gumption is about a boy who delivers newspapers to help support his family and to learn how to have a job. His mother wants him to have gumption so he won't end up the way his father was. In Barrio Boy, it is about an immigrant who goes to school and learns English. I don't think the story ever talks about him getting a job.</span>
